Rosemary-crusted creamy chicken pasta is a great, easy recipe for fuss-free weeknight dinners and is elegant enough to serve to guests at a dinner party.

Oh hi there glorious creamy chicken pasta. You guys. This pasta recipe is so crazy-good, I can’t wait for you to try it.

The idea for this rosemary cream chicken pasta recipe was born one night when I had very little to work with for dinner (there seems to be a running theme when it comes to my recipes). I wanted something super savory and delicious but didn’t have much in the fridge/pantry and even less want to stand in front of the stove for long.

I grabbed a pack of chicken breasts and the rest just kind of fell in place. I halved the chicken breasts to cut-down on the cooking time and seasoned them generously with fresh rosemary, salt and pepper. A quick fry in a hot pan resulted in gorgeously golden, fragrant chicken. After removing them from the pan I added some stock (although wine would be equally good) and once that had reduced a little stirred in some garlic. I wanted the garlic to be mellow so I didn’t fry it first and then added a good glug of cream, lemon juice and s+p.

The sauce was so good, I could drink it! I sliced the chicken and tossed it with the pasta and sauce and honestly, I could eat this chicken pasta every day. So savory, so easy and completely delicious.

I came for the rosemary cream chicken pasta but then stayed to comment once I saw the short ingredient list. I ADORE short list recipes that allow the ingredients to speak for themselves. I’m going on vacation next week so I’ll be eating nothing but salad in prep for my trip, but the moment I get back and can relax with a great pasta meal and some wine, I’m making this for dinner! PINNING!

I have been craving creamy pasta forever but I’m not eating carbs at the moment so just made the chicken and sauce and had it on zucchini noodles and it was so good. Best chicken pasta recipe I have found on the internet.
